I know pillows users love their pillows... but this problem responds best to a full-face mask I've found. The more of your cheeks you can cover the less they will puff, since the pressure outside equals the pressure inside for whatever the mask covers. I recently tried the Somnoseal mouth condom, wi...

Just a FYI. Troubling shooting the odd data that SleepHQ reported, I downloaded the SD card to the SleepHQ site from my PC instead of from my iPhone and the anomalies went away. But also just now seeing that there is no flow limit data from the Resmed 10S. The Resmed 11 did report that data. Does a...

I think it's because you're swole up... fatter tongue equals more AHI. At the level you're complaining about it means not much... I've proven I can fart and pop an event.

We had this problem with my company's sales/support website... the hosting company told us 'you just need to buy more bandwidth'. I told them I wanted a complete report on site traffic for the last month, our customers were not able to access our site to buy or download. Upshot was they found some o...

https://imgur.com/a/5D2BXHV Not sure why but the original image on the post gives me a 404 error so I am posting the link again. I'd try a night of straight 8cm CPAP EPR 2 and see how it goes... it looks like the FL's piss off the pressure, which brings on the CA's. Also SleepHQ is better for shari...

Sorry vandownbytheriver, somehow I copied the wrong link. Here's this mornings data. https://sleephq.com/public/368e5ff6-a70 ... f41affaa31

It *does* look better! I'd keep working it up as you can... I expect the CA's to disappear, we'll see.

I just got the SomnoSeal fit pack... which contains two sizes. I'm going to try the Small size, the other is Medium and the Small seems to work for me. It is a silicone piece that goes between teeth and lips... should only take a small piece of tape (included) to fix the lips in place. I'm hoping th...

Well, interesting night. I increased both IPAP and EPAP by 1cm and decreased humidity to level 6. Rain-out was mostly resolved but minor leaks were bothersome all night. Gross parameters didn't change much, but waveform tops looked smooth and exhalation support looked better. Most remarkable to me ...

The tech is at a loss now too we tried EPR off with slightly lower overall pressure. He wants to try "constant pressure" (no ramp up) next to see if that might not be it, followed by a prescription of sleeping pills. I'm starting to get skeptical. I was just thinking it might be Auto Ramp that gets...

Thank you Sir- I have been busier than my foggy brain can cope with. Got my 60th class reunion end of week and as I have/had a signshop I was asked to do the signage. Have not done this stuff for 5 years and between rusty and foggy and stressed out, it is going as expected... Unfortunately you must...

Now I installed sleep HQ and started upload from SD card but its stuck on th 27% mark for half an hour! How long does it usually take? Its just few days of data, is this normal or something went wrong? Hopefully you've restarted it by now, six hours later. I don't normally have upload problems, but...

See the gnomon at upper right? It says one is EPAP, one is Pressure. Helpful? Not so much!

Looks like you have EPR 2 turned on... that's all it is. On my Aircurve it just has one straight line all the way across, they don't even bother with EPAP.

I was curious about the HumidX discs so I googled... and read this: Designed to provide comfortable therapy while at home or while traveling. When you exhale, heat and moisture is captured and stored within the HME's tiny paper ridges. When you inhale, this heat and moisture is released to humidify ...

I believe you're on the right road... the more you increase your pressures the less the differential will cause CA due to stripping CO2 if you keep the same differential. You appear to respond better to the bi-level algorithm than the EPR algorithm. Good luck! Let us know how it goes.

Meant to say PS=2. Should have read IPAP=11 EPAP=9. OK... that makes more sense. Still, bi-level gives better support than EPR IMO... when I was using EPR I'd feel my palate slap hard when supine during the breath transition to exhale. Even though I'm on more differential it's better because a) the...
